This is my theming proposal for Linux Mint 10 KDE. I will post the screenshots with the description underneath.All items mentioned will also contain download links should they not be available in the repos.The idea was to mimic the new Mint-X theme as much as possible, but with blue tones rather than green.

Wallpaper: I just changed the hue on kampongboy92 (one of the default wallpapers in Mint 10) and putsome motion blur on it to cover the ugliness resulting from the process. Just found out who the original authorwas -- kampongboy92 -- and also that he already made a blue version, so I propose his version instead and won'tbe linking to mine anymore.

Plasma theme: Slim Glow(The author claims the theme was part of the kdeartwork package. I didn't check that though).

-> Works great on both Gnome and KDE and makes for a very consistent appearance.

QtCurve was not inheriting the icon theme properly, but I fixed that. Compare thisscreenshot which has Abiword (GTK) on the left and KWrite (KDE) on the right:

The problem was that QtCurve cannot inherit other icons than Oxygen for the controls, menus and buttons. The trick is to turn off QtCurve's icon inheriting in the theme (I fixed the QtCurve theme I made, so just redownload it) and then also set the GTK theme manually in a gtkrc. I suggest making a global gtkrc which resides in /etc/gtkrc-2.0 and then justsymlinking or copying it for every user on the system. Since I have no idea how to setQtCurve themes globally, I just loaded the theme for the root user. That way appsthat require sudo also have the same theme (mintupdate, synaptic, ...).

Thanks for your input! I just checked all links and all of them work for me. Maybe it was temporary? Can you try again?What was the exact link that didn't work (there are 3 links I provide here, the others are links by other authors.)?

Regarding Faenza -- I think the theme is wonderful, but wouldn't mind going all the way and maybe creating a hybridicon theme just like on Mint 10 Gnome, where you have mostly Faenza and then maybe Elementary folder themes oreven the Oxygen folder themes. With Oxygen, I don't like those green arrow buttons, and a lot of the icons that actuallyreside on buttons or in menus. They just look a little subpar.

@BostonPeng: LOL, it turns out I actually took the last logo proposal from your blog post on Linux Mint KDE 9. Just realized that when I clicked on the link. Actually, Google image search found the logo.
